I wonder if it's the men who are more addicted (Cue Jim Thornton complaining about his belly and chest hair)? I've certainly heard more men complaining. And, if so, should Rob be flaming the dying embers of only the male addiction? Just askin'. :D
There was one female, a WC Trialist, who was in attendance in Atlanta and kicked everyone's ass and set numerous records: Tanika Jones. Of course, I could argue that the lack of women furthers my theory of male addiction ...
1. Leslie, I actually don't complain. That was a side effect of my recently diagnosed sleep apnea--involuntary noises emitted during a parasomnia that sounded like complaints but were in fact simply grunts signifying nothing.
I have read that shaving of body hair does very little to increase swimming speed...in the walrus.
In terms of suits, all I have ever asked for is a level playing field. Let she-males like me pick whether we want to compete in a man's or woman's suit. Enough discrimination against us swimming transvestites. I absolutely don't mind if you and CreamPuff want to swim in men's suits. I welcome this, in fact.
Why can you not find it within your charitable heart to reciprocate this generosity of self-less spirit I am showing to your gender?
Where are the other Pro-Choice swimmers in USMS?
2. Tanika, who I hope to meet for the very first time tomorrow at Pitt's masters practice, swam for Team Pitt. Our team is small, but it is wiry.
I think the new rules change things more drastically for men than women. And then there is the whole shaving thing.
Plus men just like to whine more than women.
See my responses to Leslie, Chris. I must say, however, that the whole cost argument is pretty much moot. With jammers now retailing for $200 plus, it seems that the Speedos of the world are out to do what Big Pharma has been so effective at: marketing products with a tiny tincture of active benefit, and whole lot of placebo halo effect buffed up by superstar endorsements.
I think you and Leslie should start your own line of swim wear. Just get grab bag suits, have somebody design a handsome SL logo (for Stevenson-Livingston), find a maquiladora to stitch these logos on the cheap suits, and sell them at a 1700 percent markup.
Put me down for five!
